Attention LHS Families! Current 9th, 10th and 11th grade students will need to end this 2nd semester with a minimum 2.0 GPA and Pass 5 out of 7 core classes in order to be eligible to participate in sports during the first semester of the 2025-2026 School Year. If needed, now is the time to communicate with your student's Assistant Principal with questions about summer school. Also, an updated physical will need to be on file prior to the first official day of practice. Current 9th, 10th, and 11th graders will need a sports physical. Incoming 9th graders will need their required full physical. Now is the time to set up appointments for physicals!
